'"Bots are at the center of the undernet economy," says Jeremy Linden, until recently a researcher at Arbor Networks, which tracks and defends against botnets. "Almost every major crime problem on the Net can be traced to them."- -- Quoted in Scott Berinato: "Attack of the Bots": Wired, Issue 14.11 - November 2006: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.11/botnet.html
